Keke slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was Hela holding her.
"Sister Hela..." she mumbled, then seemed to remember something and hurriedly stood up, taking two steps back in fear.
Then he felt as if he had bumped into someone on his back. Keke trembled slightly and quickly turned around to apologize.
"You're awake? Are you hurt?" But before she could speak, Ye Yiqing, who had been bumped by him, asked about its condition first.
"Oh, I'm... fine." Keke looked up and froze the moment she saw Ye Yiqing; her face flushed red at a visible speed.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Ye Yiqing tilted her head slightly to look at Keke.
"No... no, it's nothing." Keke quickly covered her face and turned away, not daring to look Ye Yiqing in the eye.
"Oh~ Little sister's shy~" Ye Ciqing leaned closer with a mischievous grin.
Oh, it's good that you're alright.
"By the way, why did you seem so afraid of Miss Hela just now?" Ye Yiqing asked, looking at Hela who was still frozen in place, her arms still holding Keke.
"Huh?" Keke looked at Hela and, noticing that no strange bone whips or tentacles had grown on his back or hands, quickly apologized.
"Um, I'm sorry, Hela, I... I didn't mean to." Keke stammered, truly afraid that Hela would dislike her because she was afraid of her.
Hela simply nodded and said, "It's nothing."
Keke secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was blaming her.
"Where are we now? I think we were fighting just now." Keke looked around and realized that they were all on the rooftop of a building.
"I was the only one playing," Ye Ciqing complained. "Back then, you were really something. You used a piece of metal to block a few hits and then went AFK. And there was another useless teammate who kept attacking indiscriminately, making my life miserable."
"Uh, I'm sorry," Keke apologized, her head bowed, her cheeks flushing red.
There was no other reason than that Ye Ciqing was handsome, which made Keke's heart flutter. At the time, they were fighting, so she didn't look closely.
I suddenly realized that Ye Ciqing is really handsome.
"I'm really impressed by that scarred guy."
My brother kindly brought him along and even wanted to give him a bell, but he just said, "I don't need anyone's charity," and left with that sour face.
"Damn it! The more I think about it, the angrier I get! Next time I see that scarred guy, I'll make sure he shits his ass!" Ye Ciqing became increasingly angry, waving his fists angrily in the air.
"It's nothing, just a small thing," Ye Yiqing said softly, patting Ye Ciqing's head.
Keke nodded, then looked at Hela, hesitated for a moment, and nervously spoke.
"Hey Hela, why did you have those things growing on your hands and back back back back then?"
Hela blinked her large eyes, then raised her right hand. "This is my power." As she spoke, her right hand slowly wriggled and transformed back into several tentacles.
Keke trembled upon seeing the tentacles, her voice shaking as she cried, "Alright, alright, quickly change back!"
Hela nodded, and her hand returned to its original shape.
"Oh, by the way, I don't know your name yet. My name is Ye Yiqing," Ye Yiqing introduced politely.
"My name is Han Keru, you Keke just call me Keke. My special ability is called [ Three-Dimensional Metal Body ], which allows me to control square-shaped metal objects," Keke replied, her cheeks slightly flushed and a little flattered.
"As for me, I don't have any special abilities; I just know a little about swordsmanship."
"Oh~ I know a little bit~" Ye Ciqing leaned closer, speaking in a sarcastic tone.
Then Ye Yiqing gently kicked him.
Ye Ciqing snorted, then began to introduce himself, "My name is Ciqing, I'm his younger brother, and I have special abilities, and I'm really good at them!"
You probably already know about the [ Bones ] ability, since it's something we fight side-by-side~
Keke nodded slightly.
"Yes, beautiful lady, I don't even know your name yet~" Ye Ciqing, looking at Hela.
"My name is Hela, and I am a [ Symbiote ]. My symbiotic partner is [ HeLa Cell ]." Hela introduced herself as if reciting a textbook, just like before.
Ye Ciqing didn't seem to care at all; instead, he started teasing Keke, who was blushing the whole time.
"Miss, why are you blushing? Are you shy?"
It's okay, don't be shy, just say you like me~
Keke's face turned bright red to her ears, her mouth opening and closing, unsure of what to say.
"Alright, stop fooling around." Ye Yiqing stopped Ye Ciqing, then took out the five bells that Ye Ciqing was keeping from his pocket.
"Let's distribute the bells." Ye Yiqing first gave Hela a bell, and then gave Keke one.
"Thank you," Keke said, blushing.
Ye Yiqing shook his head slightly, then looked at Hela and asked, "Miss Hela, do you still need the bell?"
Hela held the bell in her hand, then looked at the three bells in Ye Yiqing's hand, pondered for a moment, and shook her head.
Hela considered Ye Yiqing and his brother as her friends, and since she didn't know anyone else besides them, she decided to give them all to them.
"Thank you." Ye Yiqing gave a bell to her younger brother, and then put a bell in her own pocket.
"What should we do with the remaining bell?" Ye Ciqing asked, looking at the bell still in Ye Yiqing's hand.
Ye Yiqing thought for a moment, then looked at Hela, smiled shyly, and walked over to hand her the bell.
Hela took the bell and looked at Ye Yiqing with her peach-colored eyes.
Ye Yiqing explained somewhat nervously, "Never mind, you were the one who took these bells down. We brothers don't need so many, so you can have them."
After saying that, Ye Yiqing extended his hand, "Um, thank you very much for your help this time. Please take care of me in the future."
Hela paused for a moment, then reached out her fair hand and took it.
It was quite obvious that Ye Yiqing 'Ye Yiqing body trembled slightly when Hela grasped his hand.
Ye Ciqing, standing next to Keke, looked at his shy brother and grinned mischievously.
"My brother is usually a bit slow-witted, but he's not usually this nervous around girls."
That reaction... hehe...
Keke glanced at Ye Ciqing, who was grinning mischievously, and then at Ye Yiqing, who looked somewhat nervous. She seemed to understand and blushed.
"Oh, right, what about the girl we rescued back then?" Ye Yiqing suddenly remembered to ask her younger brother as she let go of his hand.
"Her? When you told me to leave, she left too, but she didn't come with me." Ye Ciqing shrugged.
"What was her name again?"
"Her name is Han Xiaoxiao, brother, your memory is still so bad." Ye Ciqing looked at Ye Yiqing speechlessly.
Ye Yiqing smiled and nodded.
Hela, standing to the side, trembled slightly upon hearing the name Han Xiaoxiao.
But things quickly returned to normal, so that no one except Ye Yiqing noticed.
